Top 10 Most Memorable Tech Super Bowl Ads

theodp writes "From 1977's lovable Xeroxing Monk to 2007's smug-and-rich SalesGenie pitch man, Valleywag has rounded up videos for its Top 10 most memorable tech-oriented Super Bowl commercials. The commercials are: Apple (1984), Monster (1999), CareerBuilder (2005), GoDaddy (2005), Xerox (1977), E*Trade (1999), Pets.com (2000), Computer.com (2000), SalesGenie.com (2007) and OurBeginning (2000). This year's ads are coming soon." I've always been a fan of the Outpost.com gerbil cannon spot.

Apparently Slashdot now has a section specifically for nonsensible and pointless articles. And they even made it look like digg!

If I'm interested enough, I'll click the freaking link...

I'm sorry, this is against the Slashdot terms of conduct.

Poor article got the shaft

[CharAznable]

I predict there will be close to zero posts about the article itself.

Wait, wait, wait... SPORTS?!

You mean this thing on TV isn't a Madden game? I wondered when they started adding commercials to the load screens.

Budwiser should fire their add agency

[tkrotchko]

The fire breathing beer commercial was so dumb that the CEO should probably fire their agency and marketing department.

And they paid first commercial money for that. Ouch.

You'll get over it.

Really? The go daddy ad?

[SynapseLapse]

A woman with large breasts is all it takes to be memorable? Didn't realize /. had been purchased by fark.com.

Arrrgh... top 10 lists

[owlnation]

layout change... disconcerted...confused... make. it. stop. ...

ok... trying to focus...

Top 10 lists. Is it just me? Or does everyone when they see any kind of "top 10" list they immediately think:

1. Lazy worthless journalists.
2. Product placement / viral marketing / ad by stealth

I need to work 10 list of things I'd like to do to journalists. But it'll have to wait until after I have recovered from the brain damage that is this new layout...

apple ad, prophecy?

[hitmark]

the more i read about locked iphones, itunes and whatsnot it strikes me as kinda ironic that apple ran a ad about 1984...

Re:wait a second...

[Anonymous Coward]

Don't worry... this is not /. this is just some phishing website... See this layout is not /. layout... I just had too much beer trying to not be a geek and enjoy Superbowl... Everything is going to get back to normal tomorrow... Just calm down and use Google cache to see old /. pages, until this new layout goes away...

Super Bowl?!!

[CyberLife]

What's the Super Bowl? Is that anything like Puppy Bowl? :P

Once upon a time there was an old farmhand who liked to play with a young farmhand's pecker while eating shit. But one day, he decided to go to the city [myminicity.com] to inquire about the three conditions for joining the GNAA. Along the way, he burned down 4 churches, a mosque, and a scientology center for promoting torture, terrorism, and death.

What could possibly go wrong?
